Hi! I have the below code which obviously should result in a bold text: **{% assign nr = nr | plus:1%}{{nr}}. {{ title\_discharge\_directors }}** but instead I have this: \*\*7. Kwijting bestuursorgaan en commissaris voor de uitoefening van hun mandaat over het afgelopen boekjaar Does someone has any advise? I have already checked all options I know off but without any luck… ---

Hi @lieels01 , The first character within a bold statement cannot be a space. A potential coding solution for you could be the following: ```auto {% assign nr = nr | plus:1%} **{{ nr }}. {{ title_discharge_directors }}** ``` Kind regards, Michiel ---

Hi, I tried this, but it’s not working either i’m afraid. I still have the same result and have no space between the \*\* and the first text. Kind regards, Liesa ---

Hi @lieels01 , In that case, can you please share some more code? Thank you, Michiel ---

Yes of course! 🙂 Maybe as a side note: I have the same coding about 10 times in my document and only this one is acting strange… ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getsilverfin/original/2X/b/b81ebbb83cbbbb1ce51957fb4120934b64ec39f0.png) ---

@lieels01 , Could it be that the previous text in bold wasn’t closed correctly? That part of the code is not in this snapshot so I cannot verify this. Please note that the best way to post a code snippet is explained [here](https://community.silverfin.com/t/tip-use-of-snippets/837). Regards, Michiel ---

Hi Michiel, The previous part of the code seems fine to me… Please find herewith a bigger piece of code including the previous item and next item. Kind regards, Liesa ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getsilverfin/original/2X/b/b1212f160d9f84bb739b0657fdfef5fe139bdf36.jpeg) ---

Hi @lieels01, Could you please copy-paste your code as a snippet? 🙏 This way, I can re-use that code and try to simulate the issue 😉 (how you create a snippet, is explained [here](https://community.silverfin.com/t/tip-use-of-snippets/837)). Oh, and could you add a [strip filter](https://developer.silverfin.com/docs/string-filters#strip) perhaps: ```auto **{{ nr }}. {{ title_discharge_directors | strip }}** ``` So this removes whitespace before and after a string, which I believe is causing the issue. ---

Hi Sven, This worked perfectly, thank you! ---
